You can't beat free AND fast

p.s. oh yeah, and for those of you that don't have any choice but dial up, chances are your PDA gets a faster internet connection.. just a thought (though the booby pictures might be a little disappointing on that screen size)
I agree...with Firefox, I have no problems with the loading speed.

Hell, I didn't even know you could still get dial-up service anymore.

There is an add for dial up service at the bottom of page 2 in this thread..
